Hello everyone, 

 

My biometrics appointment was scheduled for Sep 8. Due to hurricane Irma the Tampa FL office was closed exactly on Sep 8. Just my luck. Per the USCIS website it states to wait 4 weeks for a new letter with a new appointment time. It has been 1 month and 4 days and I have still not received anything. I called USCIS customer care and they said I just have to wait.... I would do a walk in but the trip to Tampa would take me 2 hours and I know walk ins are not guaranteed. Does anyone know how long it’ll take for me to receive a new appointment letter? Thank you.

Are you able to submit a service request using the case number on your NOA1?

 

You could also try asking to speak to a Tier 2 officer when you call USCIS. If the first rep refuses, hang up and try again. Sometimes the Tier 2 officers are all engaged on other calls and the automated system gives you the option to receive a call back from them. I did this once when my Green Card hadn't shown up almost 5 months after arriving in the US and it got things moving.

 

Bear in mind it wouldn't have just been your appointment that was cancelled. Everyone else who was meant to go there would also need a new appointment so they're probably a bit backlogged.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.
